- The disclosure relates to flame propelling devices and more particularly pertains to a new flame propelling device for deterring an attack by an animal. The present invention discloses a flame propelling device comprising a non-pressurized vessel, and in particular a non-pressurized vessel engaged to a pump for pumping an alcohol solution from the vessel.
- The prior art relates to flame propelling devices. Prior art flame propelling devices may comprise tanks containing petroleum based flammable liquids, either under pressure or in combination with a propellent, and an ignition source, which may be piezoelectric. What is lacking in the prior art is a flame propelling device comprising a non-pressurized vessel, and in particular a non-pressurized vessel engaged to a pump for pumping an alcohol solution from the vessel.
- An embodiment of the disclosure meets the needs presented above by generally comprising a vessel, which has an opening positioned in a top thereof so that the vessel is configured for having positioned therein a flammable liquid. A handle is engaged to the vessel and extends from the opening. The handle is configured to be grasped in a hand of a user. A nozzle is engaged to the handle and extends therefrom.
- A pumping unit is operationally engaged to and is in fluidic communication with the nozzle and the vessel. The pumping unit is configured to propel the flammable liquid from the vessel through the nozzle. An igniter engaged to the handle proximate to the nozzle is configured to ignite the flammable liquid passing through the nozzle. An actuator engaged to the handle is operationally engaged to the pumping unit and the igniter. The actuator is configured to be engaged by a digit of the hand of the user to selectively actuate the pumping unit and the igniter so that a flame is propelled from the nozzle to deter an attack by an animal, such as a bear, lion, dog, or human.
- There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the disclosure in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There are additional features of the disclosure that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.
- The objects of the disclosure, along with the various features of novelty which characterize the disclosure, are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of this disclosure.
- The disclosure will be better understood and objects other than those set forth above will become apparent when consideration is given to the following detailed description thereof. Such description makes reference to the annexed drawings wherein:
-
FIG. 1 is an isometric perspective view of a portable flame propelling device according to an embodiment of the disclosure. -
FIG. 2 is a front view of an embodiment of the disclosure. -
FIG. 3 is a rear view of an embodiment of the disclosure. -
FIG. 4 is a side view of an embodiment of the disclosure. -
FIG. 5 is an in-use view of an embodiment of the disclosure. -
FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view of an embodiment of the disclosure. - With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to
FIGS. 1 through 6 thereof, a new flame propelling device embodying the principles and concepts of an embodiment of the disclosure and generally designated by thereference numeral 10 will be described. - As best illustrated in
FIGS. 1 through 6 , the portableflame propelling device 10 generally comprises avessel 12, which has anopening 14 positioned in atop 16 thereof so that thevessel 12 is configured to have positioned therein aflammable liquid 18. Theflammable liquid 18 may comprise analcohol 20, such as, but not limited to,ethyl alcohol 22. Theethyl alcohol 22 comprises at least 91 percent by volume of theflammable liquid 18. - A
handle 24 is engaged to thevessel 12 and extends from theopening 14. Thehandle 24 is configured to be grasped in a hand of a user. Thehandle 24 is tubular and has alower end 26. Thehandle 24 is internally threaded proximate to thelower end 26. Aneck 28 is engaged to thevessel 12 and extends from theopening 14, theneck 28 is externally threaded. Thehandle 24 is positioned for selective threaded insertion of theneck 28 into thelower end 26 so that thehandle 24 is removably engaged to thevessel 12. - A
pumping unit 30 is operationally engaged to and is in fluidic communication with anozzle 32 and thevessel 12. Thenozzle 32 is engaged to and extends from thehandle 24. Thepumping unit 30 is configured to propel theflammable liquid 18 from thevessel 12 through thenozzle 32. - The
pumping unit 30 may comprise aspray bottle pump 34, which is operationally engaged to and in fluidic communication with afirst tube 36 and asecond tube 38. Thespray bottle pump 34 is positioned in thehandle 24. Thefirst tube 36 extends from thespray bottle pump 34 to proximate to abottom 40 of thevessel 12. Thesecond tube 38 extends from thespray bottle pump 34 to proximate to thenozzle 32. The present invention also anticipates thepumping unit 30 comprising other pumping means, such as, but not limited to, diaphragm pumps, screw pumps, and the like. - An
igniter 42 engaged to thehandle 24 proximate to thenozzle 32 is configured to ignite theflammable liquid 18 passing through thenozzle 32. Theigniter 42 may comprise apiezoelectric element 44, which is operationally engaged to a pair ofelectrical contacts 46. Theigniter 42 may comprise other igniting means, such as, but not limited to, percussion-type sparking devices and the like. Thepiezoelectric element 44 is engaged to and positioned within thehandle 24. Theelectrical contacts 46 are engaged to thehandle 24 proximate to thenozzle 32. Theflammable liquid 18 propelled by thepumping unit 30 from thevessel 12 passes proximate to aspark gap 48 defined by the pair ofelectrical contacts 46. - An
actuator 50 engaged to thehandle 24 is operationally engaged to thepumping unit 30 and theigniter 42. Theactuator 50 is configured to be engaged by a digit of the hand of the user to selectively actuate thepumping unit 30 and theigniter 42 so that a flame is propelled from thenozzle 32 to deter an attack by an animal, such as a bear, lion, dog, human, or the like. - The
actuator 50 may comprise alever 52, which is hingedly engaged to thehandle 24. Thelever 52 is configured to be selectively levered, by action of one or more digits of the hand of the user, so that thelever 52 engages thespray bottle pump 34 to propel the flammable liquid 18 from thevessel 12 through thenozzle 32. Levering of thelever 52 also causes it to contact thepiezoelectric element 44 to generate an electric current that flows across thespark gap 48 to heat and ignite theflammable liquid 18. A flame thus is propelled from thenozzle 32 to discourage an attack by the animal. The present invention also anticipates theactuator 50 comprising other actuating means, such as, but not limited to, switches, depressible buttons, and the like. - In use, the portable
flame propelling device 10 can be carried by a user and employed as required to deter an attack by an animal. Thehandle 24 is grasped in the hand of the user with digits of the hand positioned on thelever 52. When thelever 52 is pulled toward thehandle 24, thepumping unit 30 and theigniter 42 are selectively actuated so that a flame is propelled from thenozzle 32. A flame is generated each time thelever 52 is pulled, allowing the user to control how often a flame is propelled from thenozzle 32. - With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodiment enabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by an embodiment of the disclosure.
- Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the disclosure. In this patent document, the word “comprising” is used in its non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word are included, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. A reference to an element by the indefinite article “a” does not exclude the possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless the context clearly requires that there be only one of the elements.
